Roof Garden Transformation Ideas

Reading Time: 3 minutes

June 8, 2023 By Riley E. Carlson 2 Comments

Want to know how to make a roof garden? If you’ve been thinking about transforming your roof into something more lush and green, these are some great inspirations for you.

 

Roof Garden Transformation Ideas

I’ve had some friends from the city visit and all I hear them say is, “You have it easy since you have the land.” Well I do have the land to farm and garden but not having the space should never limit you from doing what you want and growing your own crop. That’s why when I showed them how people transformed their roofs into gardens, they were so amazed! If you need some inspiration to get your garden going, here are some things you can try on your roof.
